The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, gave whatever surplus resources he had, that extended beyond his need, to the poor and destitute

` “The Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, used to spend from his wealth on his family, and whatever exceeded that, he would give it in charity.”

When the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, conquered Khaybar and took his share of booty (one-fifth), he did as `Umar described. `Umar said: “As for Khaybar, the Messenger of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, split it into three parts, two of the three were split among the Muslims, and a third was expenditure for his family. Whatever exceeded the expenditure of his family was given away and spread to the poor Muhaajireen (Emigrants).”
